Portraits | Irish Light Makes for Great Photos


So, getting married and moving your residence from one state to another (that happen to be several states apart from each other) takes its toll on your schedule - especially in regards to keeping up with personal photo editing. But I'm FINALLY caught up on weddings/portrait shoots for clients (and the crowd rejoices!) and have been able to turn my attention to finishing the last half of photos I took while in Ireland for two weeks with my sister in September/October.

One of the highlights of that trip was getting to meet up with one of my darlingest friends in the entire world, Lindsey. She happened to be studying for a semester at Oxford in England (yeah, she's a smart one) and hopped on over to the Dublin area to visit us for a few days. She's practically a second sister and currently I'm just brimming with delight to have the privilege of being in her wedding in July!

But back to Ireland. One early afternoon we were strolling down a quaint street near our hotel and happened upon a cemetery that had the most beautiful light. I convinced Lindsey and my sister to let us stop and take some photos, and this mini portrait session resulted. She's so lovely that I just had to share her sparkling blue eyes and beautiful smile.

She certainly has never lacked personality or spunk. Which is one of the things that makes her such a fabulous person to be close friends with.

I love her dearly and can't wait to see how gorgeous she'll look on her wedding day this summer! :)
